Legacy of a Star Child

Chapter 36: We're the ones who made You

How is her progress?

I believe she's doing splendid sir! I hear she gets along well with 13, and even though we have not exactly seen the results I was expecting yet, I am sure it will develop in due time.

-Xemnas and Vexen were in the middle of discussing how there newest member Xion had been doing since her introduction into the organization. Only so many of those within the organization were aware that the girl herself, was not like the rest of them. Those of the original 6 members that composed this awkward little family in the castle knew that Xion was Vexen's first perfect replica, a puppet whom was created to possibly extend the usage of the keyblade via copying memories from number 13. Xemnas was not quite convinced about the little one, however, it was a bit too late now, she existed and seemed to be attached to Roxas at the hip. The man in question simply seemed to nod his head to Vexen before laying back in a near by chair down in the lab at Zexions desk, whom was off in his room working on a project most likely in private.-

I have not seen much of this progress myself, but I will take your word for it Vexen, you have never steered us wrong.

Thank you Xemnas, if I had a heart I am sure those words would mean the world to me old friend.

-Those words actually made Xemnas crack a mild smile, he could remember the stories Zexion and Vexen would reminisce over about the old days in the lab. He didn't remember most of it himself, and even sometimes when he did it was always so short lived, however, he almost thought he could feel something at the thought that he had been so close to all of them those years ago..-

Good, without feelings, we have to at least cling to the memory of them, don't we?

I... I'm sorry sir, I was not trying to rub anything in.

I know 4, there's no need to apologize, I almost think that the old me would still want those sorts of things... I think, it would make me happy.

-Vexen chuckled mildly, hand moving over the side of his own cheek some, a mild pinkness running through his features.-

That does seem like you. You always put everyone first, even if you do not remember, I know your still in here, your still with us.

-Xemnas's smile only deepened before he paused at the sound of something coming from the stairwell, he blinked when a flash of static flew across the concrete walls from the doorway, a gloved hand slamming against the frame as someone began entering, sparks flying everywhere.-

ALRIGHT YOU'RE NOT GOING TO IGNORE ME ABOUT THIS ANY LONGER!!!

12 What the hell are you doing in the lab!? Get out you beastly woman!!!

-Half barked Vexen at Larxene whom had barged right in with raging thunderous fury. She was the savage nymph for a reason after all. Xemnas's brow furrowed, confused as to what exactly the woman would be so pissed about... well the emulation of pissed anyways. He then raised a brow before crossing his arms.-

Larxene, must you scream so loudly this early in the morning? What exactly is the issue?

I told you over a week ago I wanted a discussion and you've been avoiding me! I will not stand for it any longer I don't give a flip what your damn rank is Xemnas!

How dare you 12! You are out of line, apologize to Xemnas at once!

-Half snarled Vexen, there was nothing he despised more than a younger ranked member with no manners whom did not know there place in the hierarchy here. Xemnas did not even look phased, he seemed to pause and think a moment before nodding his head.-

I see, my apologies 12, I was not avoiding you, I had simply forgotten. My memory has not been the greatest as of late with all the madness going on around here. What is it you needed?
